Deb, Padre Pio was canonized in 2002 (made a Catholic Saint) by none other than the eeveel Pope John Paul II.
Answer me this question, please: If Padre Pio were such a kook as you suggest, do you think it wouldn't be raised as an obstacle in the beatification and canonization processes? Remember, it was all done by the eeveel Pope John Paul II, the hardly legal, Polish, highly fallible, responsible for child molestation and the decline of Latin Pope hated by every "true catholic" who is much more infallible than His Holiness the Pope.
I never said Padre Pio was a kook.
Do you consider those who are against the New Mass kooks?
